European Delivery Re-Delivery
Ok, so we've finally found an allocation and are proceeding with the order. We are in Cleveland, OH and the dealer we are purchasing (via European Delivery) from is in Florida.
Rather than having the car shipped to the dealer in Florida (and having it trailered all the way up here) is there a way to have it shipped to a BMW dealership closer to us? I know I can ask the dealer tomorrow but I'm anxious Thanks! |

Just talking outloud here and not from factual knowledge but it would seem that "performance center" delivery in Spartanburg will be the best you can do there. Would also be great roadtrip home! Good Luck!

I was thinking that... except for the fact we will be scheduling for European Delivery in December meaning by the time the car gets here it will likely be sometime in February. Does not make for a pleasant drive home to Cleveland during that time of year. I refuse for this thing to touch salt and would hate for an accident to occur due to weather

Its called a courtesy delivery to a local dealer and costs like $100-150 depending on the dealer. However thats totally up to the dealer if they want to do it. I would rather do the Performance Center delivery as 1mGator mentioned have even more fun and drive home.

I don't think you can have the car delivered to a different dealer than the dealer you bought from. Your CA will know for sure.

Thanks guys. I'll talk to my CA tomorrow and bring up the courtesy delivery. If they are not willing to do that, we will probably just rent a truck and trailer from UHaul and do the Performance Center Re-Delivery.

I have pulled a track trailer in a snow storm with Pzeroes on my M3 before. Not Fun! Get it delivered or wait till March Unless you throw the summer tires in the back and put some proper 18" wheels & snows on the car. My Z3 came in Jan and sat in the dealer's showroom until the end of Feb. I plan to drive to Greensboro this Christmas but will have proper snows. My M3s have always done well with proper snows.

NEVER MIND :[ STOOOOOOPPP!!!!!!! Don't trailer! There is a Courtesy Delivery option on the ED form whereby the Florida dealer calls your dealer. They negotiate a fee, usually about $500, which you end up paying. Then the Florida dealer checks the little box with your dealer info the car is drop shipped at your local dealer, safe! I was buying one from Ocala but they wouldn't return my calls or message so got my deposit back. I hope that's the one you got! Anway, if it was Ocala, tell the salesman you want Courtesy delivery. Let us know what he says! |

interesting... there was a dealer in Akron that had an allocation two weeks ago, but they were greedy and wanted US MSRP for ED. That's a shame, because they are local to you

Edit: On top of wanting US MSRP for ED, they didn't even have a production number or much to guarantee they even had an actual allocation. Worth a shot if anyone is interested though. |

In my case I paid over ED MSRP because they had a JULY production number. I wanted ED and could only do it in the summer. Since there were no 1Ms next summer, I jumped on it. Yes, it hurt a little bit but now that my trip is 21 days away, the sting is wearing off a bit. There are deals still out there, just have to keep looking. In my case I had run out of time. It's nice to see that fellow 1addicts are doing ED! We should get together for a beer in Munich and trade war stories. I know I need some therapy after this whole ordeal! |
